Disclaimer: none of this information is official! What we have here is a purported leak of ten changelogs for Dota 2 patches, and the numerous hero reveals that come out of this if you can read between the lines. If you're a Dota 2 fanatic, these changelogs could be your speculation-window into the future, letting you know whether or not your favorite hero will make it into the game.

You can check out Dota-two's complete list of "confirmed" heroes to see the rest, and how each one came to light. There are also significant leaks unrelated to heroes: the two factions will be called Radiant and Dire (instead of Sentinel and Scourge), and there's mention of a DOTA TV livestreaming service / spectator mode that's set to launch with the game. Believe these notes or not, but if you're eagerly anticipating Dota 2 like I am, perusing this leak will be a treat after Valve's relative radio silence.
